The miniature concert included eight of Victor's most popular artists, Frank Banta Jr., the Sterling Trio, Monroe Silver, Henry Burr, Billy Murray, Albert Campbell, Rudy Wiedoeft and Frank Croxton. This recording was produced as a test for the electrical recording system Victor had developed. None of the participants ever thought would be released. However, the recording was so well done that it was issued in 1925. This is the earliest recorded electrical Victor released. 2 parts
